I am not an expert, but perhaps if you're writing the format yourself,
maybe you could adopt an existing standard (e.g., QIF, QFX, CSV) and
import that into GnuCash?
Also, Chapter 18 in the Guide is all about importing business data.
Perhaps that might lead somewhere?

Any special character I can throw at it to get it to paste across
fields? I can insert anything I want into the string

No. Aside from the special transaction copy-paste that Liz mentioned
copy-paste is one field at a time. You'll note that you're able to
select only one field at a time: GnuCash isn't a spreadsheet.
What's the source of the clipboard item?

I am the source of the data. I have written a program
that reads new purchase orders from my inventory
database and formats it into an eMail format that my
vendors have started requiring.
My goal was to take my data and create a format that I
could paste into GnuCash. I frequently forget to enter
orders into GnuCash and THAT make for an INTERESTING
reconciliation with my bank statement.
Since I am the programmer, I can insert anything in the
clipboard I want, including weird characters.
